Free route review

Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-25. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.

Requirements

  • Web or mobile app — the platform reviews 'emerging web and mobile applications'
  • Sign-in / account required to reach the app registration form
  • Free listing automatically receives a 'Scout score'; a human test/review requires credits
  • Credits are earned by testing other members' apps (~30 min each) or bought/spent via the Promotion Store

Prepare before opening the form

  • Account credentials for scoutforge.net
  • App name, URL, description, category (Productivity, Development & Engineering, Design & Creativity, Social & Community, etc.)
  • Decide whether to only list (free score) or also request human tests (credits or paid promotion)

Workflow

  1. Sign in at https://scoutforge.net/sign-in
  2. Open https://scoutforge.net/app-register ('Submit Your App')
  3. Register the app — listing is free and immediately gets a Scout score
  4. Optionally open a test request: a member tries the app for ~30 minutes and writes what they found
  5. Earn credits by testing other apps (or use the Promotion Store) to fund the request
  6. Listing appears under 'Recently published'; tested apps move to 'Recently tested' with a public written review

Watch for

  • Reviews go live instantly on submission and CANNOT be edited, delayed, or taken down by the developer — even negative ones; this is stated policy
  • Developer-funded reviews are publicly labelled as paid
  • A developer can dispute a reviewer's payment — the dispute reason is shown publicly on the page
  • The app-register form itself is behind auth — exact fields are not publicly visible
  • Promotion Store offers paid featuring; featured cards are marked 'Featured'

What counts as live

App appears in Scout Forge's 'Recently published' / apps listing with a visible Scout score and a public app page

Not verified

  • Exact fields on the authenticated app registration form
  • Credit pricing inside the Promotion Store (page referenced but contents not captured)
  • How the initial free Scout score is computed for untested apps
